Template:DropInfo
Purpose
This template is meant to be used in the "Source" or "Drop Information" sections of an "Item:" page. It presents a standard syntax for items that are a random drop from specific or generic mobs of certain levels or in certain instances or from certain lootboxes.
Parameters
This template can take a mix of non-named and named parameters as described below. Note that certain non-named parameters can't be mixed with named parameters and vice-versa. See each parameter's notes for details.
Non-named parameters
The first non-named parameter can be the name of the mob(s) from which or instance(s) in which the item drops. This is free-form text that can include links or any wikitext.
For example, {{DropInfo|[[Ghâsh-hai Warrior]] in [[Moria]]}} produces the output "This item has a chance to drop from Ghâsh-hai Warrior in Moria.".
Alternately you can specify one of the following as the first non-named parameter in order to reference standardized text describing the drop. These non-named parameters cannot be mixed with named parameters.

Additional Information
This template previously used a 'mob' parameter. The 'mob' parameter is no longer needed and instead just put the name of the mob/instance into the first non-named parameter. The 'mob' parameter is still supported (for now) for backward compatibility however.
